Perhaps something that makes an effort to tell the story truthfully from both sides? Thin Red Line would be a great example of this, although its about WWII. I don't mean to sound anti-American here, but it seems that any Vietnam war movie I can think of is 100% pro-American. Would be great if we could keep this out of PARF  |
Yeah, good luck with that.
Remember that movie with Mel Gibson called "we were soldiers"?
The ACTOR who portrayed the comander of the Vietnamese army was later accused of treason for acting in that movie.
He played a role, and they called that treason.
That movie was based on a real story, and many involved who were there say is is as accurate as any war movie ever made.
And for that the vietnamese gubmint treated an actor like a criminal.
So go ahead, find something unbiased and balanced about viet freaking nam.
I believe you are giving quite a bit of underserved credit to those commies.
